Sync with USB or UTP/wired-LAN?

Hi,
I'm seriously considering to buy an AppleTV. Now, the only question is concerning how the movies being sync into the Apple TV.
I'm running a PC with WinXP and do not have wireless devices. I see that AppleTV has a USB port and also an Etnernet port for wired LAN. Can I connect the Apple TV to my PC via either the USB or the Ethernet port and then sync (or copy) the movies to Apple TV?
If not, then I may need also to buy a wireless adapter for my PC. It will be on additional cost.

Can I connect the
Apple TV to my PC via either the USB or the Ethernet
port and then sync (or copy) the movies to Apple TV?
Yes using Ethernet; no using USB.

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

  • Syncing with USB 1.1

    I was having issues getting my wife's iPhone to sync with an iMac G4 800MHz. After reading several of the posts, I tried using a USB 2.0 hub instead of connecting directly to the iMac. That resolved the data corruption I was getting when importing photo's into iPhoto, but it did not resolve the syncing issue with iTunes. What I finally did was uncheck the automatic sync feature in iTunes. Once I did this, everything seemed to work much better. Really slow to sync music, but that doesn't change very often.
    Yeah, BTW, everything worked much better before the last couple of updates.

    Also, try unplugging as many USB devices (i.e. printer, keyboard, mouse, etc.) as you can, so that iPhone is the only thing using USB. Works much better for me.

  • Syncing with USB 1.1 on an older PowerBook

    Looking for anyone with SPECIFIC experience using their iPhone on a PowerBook G4 800MHz with USB 1.1 ports. Have you had any problems syncing? Appreciate your help.

    I have an iMac G4 and I was finally able to get it synced. I had to do little bits of information at a time. Actually it took me a few hours to sync 200 songs, playlists and 300 photos. DIdn't even try videos! But it worked. Patience and lots of re-tries. It froze a lot.
    Now I have to do it all over again because I have a bad battery issue and need to get the iPhone replaced. Urgh!
    Good luck.

  • My speed syncing with USB 1.1

    I have a PowerBook that does not have USB 2.0, so I held back getting an iPod nano until I heard from others in my shoes. I didn't want to have it take hour after hour to update. Well, I heard from others that it wasn't that bad, and now I can attest to that. I loaded 3.2 GB of songs, about 575 of them, in just over 1 hour total. I then put about 300 photos (not the full pics too, just the thumbnails) in a few minutes.
    I would estimate that each typical 4-minute song took about 5 seconds to load. So my weekly sync won't be more than a few minutes to load up my Podcasts and any new songs.
    In other words, if you have USB 1.1 and you are worried about using the nano, it's not that bad. Sure 2.0 will be nicer by far, and I wish FireWire was possible in such a tiny device, but I'm pleased that USB 1.1 wasn't as bad as I feared.

    My home system is running Windows XP, and the USB port I happened to plug my Nano into is v1.1. Although I get a message every time I plug in my Nano ("Hey, bud - this will work FASTER with a USB 2.0..."), I have had absolutely no problems downloading/syncing using iTunes (both downloaded music and copying my own CDs).

  • Sync with USB 1

    A while ago I mistakenly plugged the iphone to a USB 1 port and was given an error message. No problem. I mistakenly plugged it into the work port and proceeded to plug it into a USB 2.0 and no worries.
    Today, I accidentally plugged the iphone into a USB 1 again, and it worked! Albeit slowly than normal. Anyone else notice this change?

    Since new, my iPhone has been used with a USB1.1 port and it's worked perfectly well - the 1.0.1 update improved the reliability with which iTunes opened (it didn't always before) and I still get the warning when connecting that the device is not compatible and do I want to switch to airplane mode, but clicking 'no' to that leaves the iPhone working perfectly well and able to sync. Slowly, but that's to be expected of course.

  • Sync with USB pendrive in KDE

    Hello,
    When i insert an USD memory, KDE correctly detects it and open a konqueror window with the USB content. Perfect. Then, i copy various MB to it. Perfect. Close the window, right-click over the icon and select "Safety extract" (i've translated it, as i've KDE in spanish), and a moreless 0,3 sec. later, the icon disappears.
    It seems that all the process was OK but it isn't. When extracting the USB, inserting again all the MB of data that  were copied aren't in the USB.
    What really happened was that the sync operation is not made when i copy the files, umouting instead. But, as the icon in the desktop dissapears, it appears that i can safely remove the USB. The copy process is done after that icon have dissapeared, as the lights of the USB keep "flashing". If i remove the USB when that lights stops, and insert again, the files have been copied.
    Well, the question is how can i make to avoid that the device icon dissapears unless the copy process finished ok... or isn't this the normal behaviour?
    I think that this can be controlled moreless with fstab, but i haven't no entry in fstab related to extraible devices, as with pmount is no necessary, so, any solution?
    Searching the forum found similar questions but not exactly this.

    A provisional trick that "solves" it.
    In KDE, i've set up the option that in the desktop only must appear mounted devices. I changed it, so an ummounted USB is shown in the desktop too.
    With this "trick", when i "safely extract", happens this:
    - Select safely extract
    - In 0,3 seconds the "green" avatar (is mounted) dissapears.
    - The USB device keeps on in the desktop, but as if it was umounted
    - No progress bar
    - When all the copy process has finished, the icon disappears

  • Sync with USB 1.1 slow - any firewire to usb 2.0 adapters out there?

    I know its been covered how slow the new nano is with USB1.1 but wow. Glacial. The G4 we use as a iTunes station has firewire. Is there a Firewire to USB 2.0 adapter?

  • How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

    iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work. 
    Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices.  Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server).  I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc.  No need for that.  Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1.  Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
    Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud.  I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively.  I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable.  Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any.  I stopped the sync in time...
    Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
    There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
    Any solution out there?
    Thanks
    Vladski

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • Syncing Classic with USB killed docking station for my Nano

    I have two libraries in Itunes, one for music and one for books. I use my Nano for music. After I organized a second library for books, I bought a Classic. It uses a USB cable. After my first hookup of the Classic, syncing the book library. The firewire docking station for my Nano no longer will connect that Ipod to Itunes. I can charge, but not sync. Is this a new feature from Apple or does Itune now only recognize Ipod thru the USB port? I can sync the Nano with USB, but I like the docking station

    I do not think that your USB docking station is faulty. I use it all the time.
    What killed my ipods (resulting in exactly your problem) was the update to firmware 1.1.2. I am on my fifth !! ipod classic (courtesy of technical support/ genius bar at the apple store) as they are not as solid as the older models and
    may go wrong quicker, despite much more enhanced functions. Touch wood mine is working fine now.
    In the mean time, you could try a hard/factory reset of your ipod:
    apple doc: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    Interesting may also be "hidden" ipod commands:

  • I can't sync with FireWire port and I can't charge with USB port!!

    Hi. I've a old model of iPod (M9244Y). After the last update, my iPod does sync with the FireWire port.
    I tried with another PCs and Mac but it does work. Finaly I buyed an USB cable and this one syncs but not charge.
    I've restored to early versions of iPod Updaters but it does not work again. Can I do somethig to fix it?
    Why I can't sync with the FireWire port?
    Please help me, I can't live without iPod, I can't live without music!!!

    Do you have other Firewire devices? Do they work? Could be the FW ports are not working right.
    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.

  • IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

    1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
    2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use, 
    3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
    4. After  5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
    5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
    6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
    7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
    8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
    9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
    10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
    KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

    "I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
    Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_
